1st RAC Challenge

I will be giving away 5 "Clean Out the Scrap Studio RAC" every Friday of February. I will try and always include one new Fiskars item and I have some new Queen and Co. felt hearts to go in each one. So here is the picture of the first goodie pile.

The Fiskar item will be a surprise each week. I will also be adding a little to the stack as I clean up a little more. Many of the items are new in the package, but some have been used thus the reason it is a "Clean Out the Scrap Studio" RAC.

I'm sorry I can not ship off the Continental USA. If you know someone here in the states that can mail it to you I will be glad to ship it to them and you work it through with them. I wish I could afford to ship everywhere.

One thing I always try to do on Debby's Dare is to leave with a "Gratitude List." Sometimes when the day is off focus, iffy, or just plain bad, I reflect on the positive and good things in my life. In order to participate in the first round RAC, that ends February 1 at midnight, comment here and list 5 things you are thankful or grateful for in your life.

Gratitude List:

1. My mom

2. My camera

3. Fiskateers

4. My Morning Thread on Two Peas

5. God's unrelenting presence in my life.

PS: This was the easy one to get everyone started. Next time it's going to be a project!

    2. My children..I almost lost my oldest son and I have two wonderful sons...They keep me young
    3. The love of my life and his family...I could not ask for anyone better! I Love You Ronnie!

    I am so very very grateful for:

    1. My children - they are a great source of my inspiration and are a fountain of smiles for me!

    2. MY BF -- yes that can mean boyfriend or best friend...he is both -- we began as best friends and it blossomed to so much more -- I have never been so comfortable with someone and he amazes me with his support. He is my biggest fan and never ceases to show me that!

    3. My family -- They have been so very good for me - always - but as the past few years have been so hard on me, they have been so helpful!

    4. My artful expression -- Whether it be singing on stage in front of a huge crowd or creating a scrapbook page with just my cat with me...there is something about letting a bit of the true me come out!

    5. My divorce...sounds very very odd, I know, but let me explain...this sad event showed me that life is too short to take anything for granted and not to live life to its fullest!

  44. 5 Things I'm Thankful for:

    1. My family -- husband, parents, sister, etc.

    2. My friends -- they are the family we choose

    3. My cat -- she provides me sanity and unconditional love on the days when I need them the most

    4. The internet -- it allows for communication with my husband while he's away to sea working, to family and friends near and far, and it allows me somewhere else to find ideas/share in my crafts

    5. The roof over my head and the food on my shelves -- self-explanatory. :)
